She nodded blankly, but she only nodded twice, and received another heavy blow on her buttocks!

Xiao Lang lied!

This thought came to her mind faster than pain, and Shu Lan’s tears became more turbulent. She shouldn’t believe Xiao Lang. He always bullied her, so how could he really be nice to her?

“Wuwuwu, Xiao Lang, you little b*stard, you motherless wild child, you...” She thought of some insulting words she had heard before and shouted out without thinking.

Qin-shi was shocked and forgot to beat her. Her well-behaved daughter had even learned to curse people?

She threw away the broomstick in one hand, Qin-shi straightened Shu Lan’s body, and asked with a cold face, “Who told you to curse? Didn’t I tell you never to curse? Did you take it as air passed your ear?”

Shu Lan couldn’t listen to anything now. She only hated Xiao Lang to death, “Xiao Lang, you little b*stard, you motherless wild child... Ah!” But it was Qin-shi who heard it to be extremely harsh. She stretched out her hand and twisted Shu Lan’s little face: “I let you curse and see if you still dare to curse!”

The cold roar came directly into her ears. Shu Lan opened her eyes suddenly and looked at Qin-shi who looked down at her unbelievably. Mother’s eyes were so strange. There was no tenderness in them. She stared at her angrily and pinched her because she scolded Xiao Lang!

For the first time in her life, Shu Lan felt the pain in her heart was worse than the pain in her body!

Her mother didn’t like her anymore, so she let her work. Her mother was even more partial to Xiao Lang, so she couldn’t listen to her scold him and pinched her hard!

As soon as this idea came up, Shu Lan stopped crying. She stared blankly at Qin-shi, and tentatively called out, “Mother...”

The pitiful voice was like rootless duckweed, which made Qin-shi’s hand tremble. She couldn’t help but want to let go. However, she thought when she taught Shu Lan before, she gave up halfway because of her coquettish behavior. This time, she was cruel and directly interrupted her daughter’s words: “Don’t call me mother, I don’t have a daughter as lazy and full of curse words as you!”

“I was born by you, why am I not your daughter?” A string in Shu Lan’s head was broken. She pulled away from Qin-shi’s hand and yelled at her with her eyes wide open!

Thinking of how her old mother had reprimanded her before, she simply turned her head and walked to the kitchen: “Forget it. You are a wild girl I picked up from the ground anyway. I care what you do, whether you will do the work, clean or not, it has nothing to do with me.” Sitting at the low table pretending to be relaxed, and expecting her daughter to run over and cry to her.

But she didn’t expect that Shu Lan was just stunned for a moment, and then she ran out crying. The speed, if it wasn’t for Qin-shi’s own eyes to see it, she couldn’t believe it. She instinctively stood up and wanted to catch up, but then she thought that her daughter had no playmates in the village, so she must have gone to complain to Xiao Lang again. Xiao Lang was sensible and should be able to help teach her daughter, so she sat down in peace.

After two stitches, Qin-shi stopped her hands and stared at the backyard in a daze.

Well, that was about it today. Her daughter cried and ran away, and she felt bad. Let’s make Ah Lan’s favorite fried pork slices for dinner, and give her the chicken thigh left to her husband. If her daughter was still unhappy, she would sleep with her in her arms tonight. The little girl liked to stay in her arms the most. Thinking of the interesting story of Shu Lan’s childhood, Qin-shi unconsciously smiled.

At dusk, Shu Maoting and Shu Wan came back chatting and laughing. It happened that Qin-shi had prepared dinner and was ready to cook.

Shu Wan walked in with a smile, shouting loudly, “Younger sister, come out quickly, your third cousin asked me to bring you something good. When you see it, you will like it!” When she stepped into the room, she was surprised to find that there was no one in the room. Her younger sister didn’t sleep!

“Ah Wan, Ah Lan is playing with Xiao Lang. Go and pick her up.” Her daughter had never come home so late. Either she fell asleep at Xiao’s house, or she was angry with her. However, Qin-shi believed when her daughter came back and smelled the fragrance of food, she would definitely call her mother with a smile. That child had a simple mind and never remembered the bad things of others.

Shu Wan didn’t think too much. She hid the gift that her third cousin had specially told her to bring back, and went to Xiao Lang’s house with a smile.

After Xiao Lang separated from Shu Lan, he went to the backyard to chop firewood. Because he didn’t hear any big movement over there, he thought Shu Lan was obedient, and he felt relieved. At this time, Shu Wan came to look for the lazy girl, the axe in his hands suddenly fell to the ground, “Ah Lan didn’t come here, she’s not at home?”

Shu Wan also realized that something was wrong. When Shu Lan went out to play, there were only two situations. One was taken by her family, and the other was taken by Xiao Lang. Otherwise, she would not have gone out herself.

The two looked at each other and saw the worry in their eyes. They quickly ran to Shu’s house.

“Mother, younger sister didn’t play with Ah Lang, did she say where she went?” Shu Wan shouted after entering the yard.

Qin-shi was bending over to cook. When she heard this, she suddenly stood up straight. “She didn’t go find Ah Lang?” So where did her daughter go after so long?

Shu Maoting was packing herbs in the backyard medicine shed. Hearing the movement in the front, he walked in a hurry, “What’s wrong?”

The three of them stared at her with all six eyes. Qin-shi quickly regained her senses and recounted what happened in the afternoon. The more she said, the more nervous and anxious she became. Later, her eyes became tearful, and she grabbed Shu Maoting’s hand: “This child will not take it seriously right? Where can she go? If she has three long and two short, I won’t live!” Worry and regret made her tears surge out.

Xiao Lang glanced at Qin-shi, turned, and left.
